It should never have come to this. I started Burgers and Bruce with a vow to find the best burgers worldwide for travelling Springsteen fans and other food lovers to try. And then I met Bruce Springsteen. And Bruce loves burgers. He has a “fondness for a good diner burger” in fact. Simple, unpretentious, classic…

Living in London you might assume that I am spoilt with a choice of new burger joints to try at lunch. You’d be wrong. As much as I’d love to be having a laugh over a burger on my lunch break, the reality is I’m sat at my desk at work. This isn’t because I’m…

I’ve always been a bit unsure about Five Guys burgers. The thing is, Five Guys opened in London at the same time as Shake Shack, and there will always be a special place in my heart for Shake Shack because that’s where the idea for this blog started, before seeing Springsteen in NYC (sorry, have I said…

“If dreams came true, oh wouldn’t that be nice…” (Prove It All Night, 1978) Since I started Burgers and Bruce the two questions I’m always asked are “have you met Bruce Springsteen” and “do you know if he even likes burgers”. It was always a sad “no” to both. I did some research on the…

I eat a lot of burgers. In fact, ‘a lot’ is an understatement. I eat too many burgers. So with so many burgers available, it’s really important for them to stand themselves out from the crowd, and keep me interested. Burgers need to treat me mean and keep me keen. This Saturday, Springsteen is playing…

A Burgers and Bruce report. One of the first questions people ask me when they discover my, er, passion for burgers and Bruce Springsteen, is whether Bruce himself likes burgers. My answer is always “of course he does”. Because really, why wouldn’t you like burgers? But I keep having a dream. I’ve had it a…

This post is very brief because tomorrow I’m flying to Italy to see Springsteen and I haven’t packed, booked a place to stay, and perhaps most importantly, found my passport yet. My priority this evening was to go to Shake Shack, one of the newest burger openings in London. Shake Shack was originally started up…
